State releases money for environmental assessments

COLUMBUS

The state Controlling Board released nearly $600,000 Monday for environmental assessments of industrial sites in Mahoning and Trumbull counties.

About $299,000 will be used at the former YS&T Seamless Tube Mill in Youngstown and Campbell, while $291,649 will be used at the former U.S. Steel property in McDonald.

In both cases, the funding will be used for soil borings, additional monitoring wells, asbestos surveys and other assessments to pinpoint cleanup activities needed to prepare the sites for future development.
